Daily fantasy sports platform FanDuel just announced The Bitcoin Bowl, a promotion that will last the length of the NFL playoffs and give winners a chance to win some bitcoin.
They’ll be two contests – one is a single-entry free contest where the winner wins 1 bitcoin, and one is a multi-entry $3 contest that has a tiered payout – 1st place will get 2 bitcoin, 2nd place will get .5 bitcoin, and 3rd and 4th place will get .25 bitcoin.
What’s interesting is that the value isn’t pegged to USD, meaning the winner will get the specified amount of bitcoin regardless of what happens to the cryptocurrency’s price in the next few weeks.
